    I’ll bite the top voted post - this is not the right mentality to have. OP just bought from an EU company and wanted to post to our community, shouldn’t we be a bit more encouraging? The EU consumer electronics industry simply isn’t there yet for the charger case - see my other post

      In my opinion it does not belong here. I appreciate the hype and effort of trying to buy European ,but there is no reason calling this European simply because the distributor is European or they have put their name on the product

      We have the same issue here in Denmark. Super markets have started marking European products with a star on the price tag. They do mark Californian raisins as European, simply because a European brand buys them from the US and distributes them.

          I agree. My point though is, that this is not relevant. For me, it’s not about changing all purchases to somethingt that is European. I see it as much more valuable to choose European over other brands when you have the choice. In this case I don’t see it as a choice. You buy Chinese, or Chinese distributed by a European company. It’s the same in the end, besides you having paid much more for the same product. If you do buy European wine over American though, or meat, or services, it makes a lot more sense
